Olyns is a California-based climate-tech company that builds the Olyns Cube, an AI-powered reverse vending machine that lets shoppers recycle beverage containers at retail locations in exchange for cash refunds or rewards. Each Cube doubles as a digital advertising screen, so revenue from brand ads funds the cost of collecting and sorting material - making consumer recycling profitable and scalable without relying on the low value of the plastic itself.
